From Menghai Tea Factory

2007 Menghai Dayi Yun Xiang Ripe 500g
A premium 500 grams tea. Mellow and pure in aromatic smell. It brews a ruby red soup, sweet and thick. Thanks to its long history and rich experience, Menghai Tea Factory makes some of the best of ripe puerh teas – this one is no exception.

11 Tasting Notes

A great buy for someone who’s only had bad, fishy shu pu’er, Dayi’s Yunxiang cake redeems the name of shu. And for any doubters, this tea’s traits define why I love Menghai Factory shu pu above all others and worth its price. When I’m in the market again for cooked tea, this cake is on my list.

Preparation

Time to revisit this Dayi shou favorite. Menghai Dayi has developed a solid reputation for good ripe teas and this one is a good example. A tightly compressed cake with a welcoming earthy aroma. Started with a 10s steep and stopped at 30s for the sixth steeping. Steeps a deep ruby-red liquor which is bright and clear. The sip is rich, woody and very smooth. A sweet creamy caramel note emerges in later steepings. This is a good tea to use as a cold weather warm up or to share with non-puerh tea drinking guests.
